abstract="<p>The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine whether projective techniques could identify long‐term consequences among children stemming from exposure to a traumatic event. The first group of children (<i>n </i>= 53; 26 female, 27 male) experienced 2 major earthquakes at age 7, 3 months apart, in Turkey, while a similarly matched control group (<i>n </i>= 50; 25 female, 25 male) did not. Both groups of children (current age: 9) completed a series of short stories related to disastrous events. Results indicated that the traumatized group evinced a range of trauma‐related symptoms 2 years after experiencing the earthquakes.</p><p />",
